Gettysburg shoemaker, who upon seeing the Union soldiers march past his home, joined the Iron Brigade at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was wounded, but survived to become a national celebrity. Original 2.25 x 4 full-length carte-de-visite portrait of Burns posing with his Enfield rifle, backstamped "Published by E.&H.T. Anthony, 501 Broadway, New York, from Photographic Negative in Brady's National Portrait Gallery,” and signed on the front in the lower border in black ink, “John L. Burns.” Scattered light silvering to edges of image, and a bit of trivial toning and rubbing to image, otherwise fine condition. A scarce and boldly signed offering.
